I hate being called a CCP shill for suggesting we focus on our own problems

I never ever defend China, I literally just point out shit is falling apart here lol

USAnos have a weird blindness to their own issues

No, but Robert Evans and likely everyone connected to him are probably literal state assets

holy shit at the guy opening the emergency exit and then the USSR anthem comes in

LMFAO

This shit drives me fucking insane. I got an ancestry test done and I have like 30-40ish percent indigenous heritage (and it fucking visibly shows, like with a lot of Latin American descent) and then you have white as snow people talking about how their great great great grandfathers cousins 2nd wife boned some guy who was like two generations removed from a half indigenous person so therefore I can be racist.

The worst parts is I've heard people say this all the time, it's not even a meme.

I like the Grey Knights novels because everything they deal with is shown to be a nightmarish shitshow lol, I couldn't get into the Horus Heresy books

also the moment in Gaunts Ghosts where the Chaos Space marines get fucking merc'ed by the indigenous people of a planet because they were too full of pride and hubris to wear helmets is 10/10 writing

if you read like any of the popular W40k novels everything about the Imperium of man seems like unfettered dogshit

the majority of the people live in decaying hovels eking out a miserable agricultural existence or in enormous planet sized slums that have all sorts of issues (rampant crime, gangs, mutants, etc.)

if you're part of the actual government you are like an undying heavily bio augmented freak with an incredibly long lifespan (iirc Inquisitor Ravenor is like 300 years old lmfao) stemming back a tide of literally incomprehensible horrors that you aren't fully equipped to deal with

like in Caiphas Cain the entire point of the series is that he's a regular commissar who frequently stumbles into absolutely insane, fucked up situations and spends most of his time trying to run the fuck away because getting turned into some mutant freak by Tyrannids is in no way cool or exciting

god help you if you're part of the regular ass army

yes, it's a great character drama/study about masculinity and office culture

but muh chris kyle 500 billion dead taliban

Sometimes you get based answers on Quora and some guy saw someone trying to downplay the atrocities of the Axis and he posted like 40 of the most insane, gruesome images from WW2 and it really impressed on me how little I actually onew about it.

I think people underestimate the sheer level of suffering and brutality that came to pass in that period. The USA was spared almost all of it.

yeah they literally go anprim at the end lmao
